TIP..1

TIP..1

Always try to make sure before you start to use your charcoal grill that it is situated on a nice level surface and is stable, NEVER use your charcoal grill indoors at anytime, the charcoal when burning gives of toxic carbon dioxide fumes and is a hazard to your health.

TIP...2

Always check your grill is in good order before lighting, check that it is clean and that everything is fitted and in the right place. These checks will ensure you get the maximum enjoyment out of using your charcoal grill, and cooking some great food outdoors.

TIP...3

A good tip for how many briquettes to use when cooking is to work out approximately how much food you are going to be cooking, a good guide would be for every pound of meat you intend to cook you should use roughly 25 to 30 briquettes to get the best results.

TIP...4

To start cooking your food you should make sure the briquettes are placed in a pyramid to begin with, you can light the briquettes by using rolled up newspaper in the middle or you could use lighter fluid to get the charcoal burning.

When using lighter fluid be careful not to use too much, for 30 briquettes using half a cup is plenty to get your charcoal grill going. When you have added the lighter fuel to your briquettes allow it a few minutes to soak into them before lighting, then light it by using the extended matches you can buy, these are ideal for lighting grills outdoors safely. You need to wait approximately 10 minutes after lighting your briquettes before cooking your food, make sure the flames have gone and you are left with grey coloured briquettes, then rearrange them with a utensil such as tongs in the bottom of your grill ready for cooking.

TIP..5

Safety when using a charcoal grill should be your main priority, always make sure you do not situate the grill near trees or grass where a spark could ignite the surrounding area. Try to keep your grill out of the wind when in use, this will stop any rogue sparks or embers from being blown around and causing unwanted fires. When finished cooking on your portable charcoal grill you should allow it to cool down completely before attempting to move it, if your charcoal grill comes with a lid then just shut the lid and starve the charcoal of oxygen to put them out, this should take approximately 20 minutes to achieve. Also remember after using your grill always give it a thourough cleaning before putting it away, this will help to preserve your grill and make it ready to use for your next outdoor cooking.
